How to achieve the Inked Block Technique; you only need 3 things!


I shared the Inked Block technique on Tuesday's Facebook Live video.  It's fun, easy and you need just 3 things!

I chose to feature the Garden Wishes stamp set & a variety of colors. This first one is Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape & Pacific Point. 

You need a clear block, Stampin' Write markers and a spritzer filled with water.  Below are the measurements for the cards. 

Watch the video here to see how it's done.  It's the first of 3 projects I share.   

Tips for success:

  • Use Stampin' Write 'water based' markers on your block; do not use Blends which are permanent markers.
  • Start with the lightest color first so you don't get a dark color on your marker tip
  • After filling up the block with ink (I colored on the diagonal) spritz it with water until dots form. 
  • The more water you add the better the inks blend.  But don't do too much or the colors blend too much. 
  • Press the block directly on your White card stock and hold for a few second. 
  • Have a tissue or paper towel ready to dab up excess water off the paper. 

The Stampin' Write markers I used on this next card are Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point.

The card below has a softer feel.  The colors are Pale Papaya, Pumpkin Pie & Polished Pink. 

Which one is your favorite?

  • Live tonight! Show off your Designer Paper with this fun layout!


    We're making these cards tonight on Facebook Live here.  Every other Monday I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live where we use our Designer Paper in fun ways.  

    I love this layout!  It is perfect for small patterns of Designer Paper. Turning squares on the angle adds a lot of playful interest to your card and showcases one main image, die-cut or punch in the center. 

    I post the measurements a few days before the Live event so you have the time to prep your pieces so we can complete them together.  

    I chose to use the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper from the Holiday catalog. (see it here)  And the Perfectly Plaid stamp set & Pine Tree punch.  

    Card stock is Real Red, Mossy Meadow & Basic White; ink is Mossy Meadow. 

    Measurements:
    Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2" 
    White CS – 2" square, 2 7/8" square, 4" X 5 1/4" plus a scrap for the punched piece
    DSP (Heartwarming Hugs) – 2 1/4", two different patterns at 2 3/4"

  • A treat bag from an envelope? Yes!


    I cannot believe what a nice size this treat bag is – all from an A2 size envelope!  

    Steps:

    1. First I stamped just the flap with snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set using Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather inks.  Then I stamped the Highland Heather tag and heat embossed it with White embossing powder.  

    2. Next score 1" on the bottom and up both sides while the envelope is flat.  Fold on the score lines and press each fold well. 

    3. Open up the envelope into a box. Secure the bottom corners to the flat bottom. 

    4. Die-cut the flap using the Basic Border dies. Add a second layer of Coastal Cabana – also die-cut.  

    5. Fill the bag with treats, wrap the mesh ribbon around it and add the tag.  Tie it into a bow.  Done!

    And below is the video; it's the last project I share on this FB Live replay!
